<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 in

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let M be the midpoint of AB. ∆CMB and ∆CMA are both isosceles triangles, so CM = (AB)/2 = 9 in.

CG = (2/3)(CM) = (2/3)(9 in)

CG = 6 in

<em>Comment on centroid and median</em>

The centroid of a triangle is located 1/3 the distance from the midpoint of a side to the opposite vertex. This is true for any median in any triangle. The proof can be developed from the fact that every median divides the triangle's area in half. Here, we just take advantage of this fact.

Given sin theta= 6/11 and sec theta < 0, find cos theta and tan theta.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, we know that:

$cos^2(\theta)=1-sen^2(\theta)\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

Substitute $sin(\theta)=\frac{6}{11}$ into the first equation, solve for the cosine and simplify. Then, you obtain:

$cos(\theta)=\±\sqrt{1-(\frac{6}{11})^2}\\\\cos(\theta)=\±\sqrt{\frac{85}{121}}\\\\ cos(\theta)=\±\frac{\sqrt{85}}{11}$

As $sec\theta$ then $cos\theta$ :

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{85}}{11}$

Now we can find $tan\theta$ :

$tan\theta=\frac{\frac{6}{11}}{-\frac{\sqrt{85}}{11}}\\\\tan\theta=-\frac{6\sqrt{85}}{85}$
